Show HN: Jobs extracted from company career pages, before they reach job boards

A project posted to Hacker News by user omar_bouaziz launched a tool that extracts job listings directly from company career pages, making them available before they propagate to mainstream job boards, per the Show HN post published on August 19, 2026.

The premise is timing: job openings typically appear on a company's own careers page before they're submitted to aggregators like LinkedIn, Indeed, or Glassdoor. By crawling those source pages directly, the tool gives job seekers early visibility into roles that haven't yet been indexed elsewhere.

The HN submission provides no detail on which companies or sectors are covered, how frequently pages are scraped, or whether the tool targets a specific geography. The post had one point and no comments at time of publication, and no additional sources corroborate the launch.

No information is available from the source on the team size, founding date, prior funding, or business model behind the project. It is not clear whether the tool is free, subscription-based, or still in an early access phase.

The approach addresses a known friction point in job searching: by the time a listing reaches a major board, it may already have accumulated a large applicant pool. Direct-source scraping is not a new concept — several other tools and browser extensions have attempted similar strategies — but the HN post does not reference competitors or cite any data on how much of a head start early listings typically provide. What to watch is whether the project draws enough community interest to prompt a fuller product description or expand into a more structured service.
